Abstract: Mankind is on the brink of an ecological crisis, sitting behind the wheel itself. Sustainability science is concerned with the interactions between humans and the environment to foster long-term sustainable development. It focuses on the prediction and assessments of faults all over the globe and their appropriate remediation with the aid of best-fitting knowledge for the resilience of the global natural systems, social systems, and human systems. The primary goal of sustainability science is the restoration of ultimate functionality to Earth’s ecosystems and landscapes. Climate change, acidification of the oceans, loss of biodiversity, pollution of the environment, deforestation, and changes in the use of land are just a few of the global environmental concerns that are now manifesting on a planetary scale. Pollution is the root and the leading cause of every liability in the ecosystem, it is no less than a bane on the planet. In the ladder of sustainability science, pollution control serves as the side wood that holds all other steps. Here all the plausible sustainable techniques have been discussed that can help out in controlling all types of pollution.

Research Title: Validation of Employee Job Performance (EJP) Scale in an Arab Working Environment: The Case of Healthcare Providers in Emergency Departments in Jordan
Author: Audi Naji Khaled Al Smadi, Published Year: 2023
Journal of Health Management, 25
Faculty: Business
Abstract: Job performance is an essential contributing factor to hospital success because it appraises healthcare providers’ (HCPs) job performance. Achieving the purpose of measuring HCP’s job performance in the emergency department requires a valid, reliable, satisfying psychometric properties scale. This study aims to verify the validity and reliability of the employee job performance (EJP) scale developed by Na-Nan et al. (2018). Two steps were followed to verify the validity and reliability of the EJP scale, namely, instrument validation and statistical testing, including exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). A survey questionnaire was distributed to the HCPs in two phases to collect the data in the period of April–July 2020. The findings failed to replicate the Na-Nan et al. (2018) EJP scale. Two items were dropped from the scale based on the content validity ratio results. The EFA yielded 11 items and two dimensions, and CFA yielded 9 items and two dimensions. The two dimensions name job quality (five items) and job time (four items). The goodness of fit of the model was defined as satisfactory with a value of Chi-square/df 2.63 and RMSEA < 0.08, TLI, GFI and CFI ≥ 0.90. The results of this study failed to replicate Na-Nan et al. (2018) findings. The final results indicated a two dimensions scale consisting of job quality and job time construct. In general, the two dimensions EJP scales meet the goodness of fit, and the results confirm the reliability and validity of the two dimensions EJP scale.

Abstract: This study investigates the effects of talent management (TM) of human resources on organizational
performance improvement. The study is accomplished through hypothesizing the effect of
talent management on organizational performance. Organizational commitment is theorized to be
a mediating factor for this relationship. In addition, the model considers transformational leadership
style as a potential moderating factor. Data was collected from 385 Jordanian hotel employees using
questionnaires and then analyzed using structural equation modeling (SEM). The results demonstrate
the positive impact of talent management (TM) on organizational performance, effective continuance
and normative commitment. It is also shown that effective continuance and normative
commitment played a mediating role. Finally, Transformational leadership style is proven to be a
moderating variable with an effect on talent management and organizational performance. The
findings show the significance of the role that organizational commitment plays in achieving human
resources performance goals.
